I have an H1B petition valid through 15.Dec.2024, and my extension with the same employer was approved through 2027. I am applying for a visa stamp next month and plan to return to the U.S. in November. Will the consulate issue me a visa through 15.Dec.2024, or will they issue it through 2027, based on my extension?

On the DS-160, there is an option to include information regarding a second I-797 approval notice. Generally speaking, in this situation, one should include both approvals in the DS-160, and request during the interview that the visa be issued for the longer duration. (14.Aug.2024)
